In the file for my wife's relatives, I have a Patrick Cain and M. Agnes Meashaw (b. 1814), whose children included Cornelius (b. 1841), Alexander (1843), John Francis (b. 1854 - this is my wife's ancestor) and M. Agnes Kane (b. 1853 - who is possibly your "Mary Cain"). I will be looking up the marriage record (1881) in the local LDS center here on my next visit. The Whalen connection sounds interesting, since my records indicate that Cornelius Cain married Martha Matilda Whalen (I haven't been able to locate the marriage record here, but these are the parental names that appear on the marriage record for their da Sarah Cain, who married in 1912). Let me know if you agree that there's likely a connection here, and we can exchange info. Michael
